Big Changes for Coleslaw

I'm working towards 1.0 and Coleslaw's basic architecture seems to have
settled down. The areas of focus for 1.0 will be better error handling,
command-line conveniences, more content types, and possibly some new
ways to ingest data.

Coleslaw 0.9.6 will be released this Saturday and, not long after,
make it into the next quicklisp release. Seeing as it contains big
changes, some of them breaking, I thought I'd put out an announcement.

Coleslaw 0.9.6

Coleslaw 0.9.6 unifies how we handles URLs throughout the application and
simplifies the deploy strategy. The good news is, this makes the install
process easier for new users. The bad news is, if you've got an existing
install, you'll need to add a new plugin (versioned) to your config
file for the old deploy behavior.

That's not so rough, right? In addition, custom themes and plugins that
haven't been upstreamed may need some minor tweaks. The NEWS
has more details.

Feel free to grab the basic-deploy branch from my repo and
try it out. There are some new docs and the README has been
cleaned up. There's also a plugin for Twitter Summary Card
support and the usual smattering of bugfixes.

Going Forward

While I'm happy to maintain Coleslaw if no one else steps up to work on it,
I'm going to try and shift my focus towards emulation work and weird lisp
noodling. If you're interested in taking on a co-maintainer role or working
with me on the project please get in touch. I've been very appreciative of
the help and interest thus far. If there's anything I can do to make the
project more approachable or help people get started, do let me know.
